Abstract

In this work, we investigate the problem of automatically mapping applications onto a coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture and propose an efficient algorithm to solve the problem. We formalize the mapping problem and show that it is NP-complete. To solve the problem within a reasonable amount of time, we divide it into three subproblems: covering, partitioning and layout. Our empirical results demonstrate that our technique produces nearly as good performance as hand-optimized outputs for many kernels.
